Jules Verne - Voila! - is a name that resonates with visions of
fantastic adventures and images of exotic exploits. In his voyages
extraordinaires, the noted French author integrates his
encyclopedic knowledge of science and geography with his ability to
tell fascinating and entertaining tales, taking his readers on
unprecedented journeys across the globe, into the earth, and out
into space. This revered writer, who with his boundless imagination
had hoped to contribute substantially to the world of letters, has
surpassed that expectation to become coincidentally a significant
influence on film. This comprehensive filmography not only offers
an incisive analysis of Verne's epic creations, but also presents
an examination of the films inspired by his stories and characters.
If one tries to think of all the films adapted from the works of
Jules Verne, a fair sampling might be easy to come up with. If one
looks more closely at the plots and motifs of many other films,
science fiction and otherwise, their origins are revealed to have
been derived from Verne. For example, most film enthusiasts are
familiar with Disney's Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea and a
few may even be aware of the 1916 silent version. But Verne's
classic undersea novel also provided the underpinnings for such
other movies as Fantastic Voyage (1966) and Innerspace (1987). The
central arrangement is by Verne's title with a brief thematic
analysis of the novel. The entry then presents in chronological
order all cinematic adaptations of that work, allowing the user to
make comparative analyses of not only the movies but also their
relationships to Verne's original story. Filmographic data are
provided for each adaptation, along with a plot synopsis that
blends critical commentary with an examination of the connection
between the movie and Verne's work.
